Most of the commentators here are speaking out of their asses. Let me tell you somethings, being greek and all.

First of all ,Limnos is one of the Greek islands that is very close to Turkey. There have been a lot of incidents in the past there. Maybe the whole point of the clashes were moot, maybe not, but i can't blame the officials for being extra carefull.

Secondly, personally i believe that the guys did not mean harm. But, they were photographing and videotaping active military camps. Sure there's satellite photos of everything on the island on google maps, but gathering intelligence on military installations is one of the most basic espionage actions. If that's not spying, i don't know what is.

Finally, for all those talking about tourists and tourist activities, that's a whole lot of hors*shit. Next time you decide to come for vacations, try to stay at the beach. The military bases are off limits.

being greek, i've read some of the original articles. The problem is, they were taking photographs and videotaping active military bases. I'm pretty sure, the guys are not spies but gathering intelligence on foreign military installations constitutes spying in most of the countries i know

i suppose MsDOS 6.22, windows 3.11, system V and AmigaOS 3.1 were much more meaningfull, right? jeez, TFA is a waste of time

Even if the original quote was not from him, he adopted it as if it was.

At this point, i'm not sure why someone who would decide that Unity wasn't right for them wouldn't simply try Mint with Mate, Fedora with Gnome3 of something with Xfce. What market gap are they trying to fill?

The trial was only one of the factors to consider here. The overall growth of the android ecosystem should be accounted for. Also keep in mind that smartphone sales are surging overall ( http://arstechnica.com/business/2012/08/more-than-half-of-all-handsets-will-be-smartphones-in-2013/ ) so it makes sense for Samsung's phones to sell more.

It would help to see the recent sales figures of other notable android manufacturers like HTC and LG to decide if the exposure from the trial had a noticeable effect

With Valve finally bringing Steam on Linux, how can someone proclaim the linux desktop dead?

I'm pretty sure, if you'd live 500 years you would hear you mother nagging you for not getting married and settling down by the time you're 300 years old...

But try to imagine what a person who has lived 500 years would have witnessed:

The colonism of the americas.
The birth of modern medicine.
Discovering the importance of DNA.
The French Revolution.
The American Revolution.
The Industrial Age.
The evolution of art movements like Neoclassism, Romanticism and all Modern or Contemporary art movements.
Splitting the atom.
Walking on the moon.
The radical change of the way we view the world through quantum mechanics and the theories of relativity.
The technological advancements of the 20th century.
The internet.

Now factor the singularity effect and extrapolate for the next 500 years. I'd sure like to be around to witness all that.

I completely agree: This turns CC into an'all or nothing' deal. And for me, if i had to choose between the two, it would easily be 'nothing'.

I'm a photographer with a moderate fan-base. In the past i've published most of my works as NC-ND because it enables me to retain my artistic vision, while also making sure that if a website/corporation uses one of my images, i 'll get a fair share. Take that away, and all i'll ever post online are 200x200 thumbs. Who wins from that? Certainly not the people who enjoy my photos, since they'll have extremely limited access to them. Definitely not I, since i'll have more difficulties getting my photos to a new audience.

No NC-ND would probably mean "All rights reserved" for me.

That's an even better idea.... (i was just thinking that i'd like to keep the rest of my funds)

first things first: For how long would i have to stay off the grid? For argument's sake, i'll assume i'll have to be out of sight for 6 months.

So the first thing to do is off course ditch any cell, or anything i have that can be traced. That includes cameras with gps sensors, gps devices and other similar gadgets that are location aware. I'd try to withdraw as much money as i can using ATMs in the first 3 hours, after that burn all debit/credit cards.
I'd probably try to set up an "insurance" against my dissapearance. Something like the encrypted torrent wikileaks published. Whatever i witnessed is probably importand enough, and interesting enough that members of the press, or wikileaks would be interested for. So i'd send them an encrypted copy of the story of what i witnessed. Then i'd set up a deathswitch account http://www.deathswitch.com/ were in case i was unable to enter the password the password would be sent to all those interested. Final thing would be to let those that are after me know that they should make sure i don't die or get caught if they want the event to stay private.

After that? Leave a note for your family letting them know that you're ok, but that you have to leave, and that they have to trust you. You'll communicate in a couple of days. Then get the hell out. Get on a bus, and try to get as far as possible from where you could be found. Stay out of major cities and try to stay low. If the search for you goes public, then change appeareances as much as you can. Different dress styles, shave your beard, color your hair etc etc. And keep running.

Or in english: "The last argument of kings". It was cast on the cannons of Louis XIV. The armed forces who storm the embassy could have it painted on their chests.
